Dog Training
Our positive reinforcement training focuses on building mutual respect between dogs and owners without food bribes or electronic collars. Through consistent commands and play-based rewards, we address behavioral issues while strengthening the human-canine bond. Clients learn effective communication techniques to maintain obedience at home.
Boarding
Climate-controlled boarding includes daytime social play with supervised groups and comfortable nighttime kennels. Dogs enjoy structured routines with attention to individual needs, while owners receive regular updates about their pet's well-being and behavior during their stay.
Daycare
Supervised socialization features size-segregated play areas, rotating indoor/outdoor activities, and trained caretakers managing group dynamics. High-energy dogs benefit from structured exercise programs while staff monitors social development and intervenes when necessary to maintain positive interactions.
Grooming
Professional grooming services include bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and blow-drying with optional decorative accessories. Each session provides skin and coat health assessments while using gentle handling techniques to create positive grooming experiences for dogs.
Obedience Classes
Group classes teach basic commands and behavioral modification in structured environments. Instructors demonstrate techniques for maintaining focus without treats, emphasizing body language and vocal cues that owners can consistently apply at home for lasting results.

I am now training my second dog here. They really helped me work with my first, and my second was a rescue and had a lot of issues, but after one 6-week class I have seen amazing progress. Kim is great, and very calm with both dogs and humans.

Our dog Ollie has been coming here for about a year for day care or boarding. We always feel comfortable with him there and he seems to get along with staff and other dogs. Ollie can be wary of strangers but happily walks off with the Park cities staff when arriving. The flexible hours and last minute booking also help when needed!

I have a pretty difficult dog who loves dogs but is weary with strangers. The people here have been so wonderful at making me feel like my dog is in good hands. I've been using the daycare and boarding services for over a year and highly recommend! Not as flashy as barking hound next door but extremely caring and fairly priced.

We love and miss PCOS! We just moved out of state, but we were loyal clients for 1.5 years. Our dog Austin did their 10 day board and train with incredible results. He also attended daycare 2-3 days per week, where he learned how to play nicely and socialize in a healthy manner (we rescued him from the euthanize list due to failing his dog test at the intake shelter.) We will forever be grateful to the staff for their work with Austin! Thank you for your kindness and compassion and execellent customer service. Austin misses his team!
